Step 3: Solder the Rest
The remaining components protrude through the front panel
1.
Place the jacks, potentiometer, and switches on the PCB, using the screen-printed rectangles as a guide.
2.
Place the 3mm LED, paying special attention to the polarity. The anode goes toward the printed plus sign.
The cathode is closest to the edge of the PCB.
3.
Place the front panel on top of all of the components and secure them with their nuts. Tighten the nuts with your fingertips, fingernails, or a tool
specifically designed for these nuts. Using a pair of ordinary pliers is likely to scratch the front panel.
You should not need any of the included washers. Put them aside.
4.
Before soldering the jacks, potentiometers, and switches to the PCB, be sure that there are no gaps between the bases of the components and
the PCB. The photo below shows the kind of gap that you want to avoid.
If you do end up with gaps, as shown above, the components will not all be at the same height. If this is the case, you can use the washers that
you put aside; placing them between the lower-height components and the front panel to close the gap.
5.
Solder all components, except for the LED, from the other side of the circuit board.
6.
Push the LED up so it protrudes through the front panel. Double check that the polarity is correct,
then solder it from the back of the circuit board.
